Madonna Exhibit Will Open May 1 Library Shows Series By J. Watson Davis An exhibit of Madonnas of the Mis sions consisting of colored reproduc tions of works done by J. Watson Da vis will open May 1 on the second floor of the library. Among the painting, which are about six and one-half by eleven inches in size, will be paintings of the Blessed Virgin as she is pictured in various countries. The serene, oriental-featured Ma donna of China is much unlike the dark-skinned Queen of Africa, who is pictured in a setting of pryamids and thatched huts. The vivid coloring in the various paintings brings out the point that the Madonna is pictured in the traditional garb of the country in which she is honored.

Hoppalong Wins Again Strikes Blow to Study in TV Lure The ingenious mind of man has done it again. First came electric lights and horseless carriage ; the tele phone and radio; now to top it all off Hopalong Cassidy gallops into our lives every Sunday afternoon via the great development of the modern world Television I It has me in its grip. Our family, usually a rational group, now ar ranges meal times so that all can see Kukla, Fran and Ollie; mother is learning to bake pineapple upside-down cake by just watching the process car ried on by experts; father can watch boxing, football, baseball, and wrest ling from the comfort of his favor- ite easy chair, little brother can see Hoppy and the Lone Ranger crush evil doers in their own inimitable style. The question rises however, as to whether this type of entertainment is profitable or not. Is it ruining my eye-sight? How can I get my assign ments done and still watch the variety and quiz shows? I can't study and watch T.V. because I don't have two pairs of eyes. Still worse, the inevitable situation always arises concerning which pro- Juniors Entertain In Crystal Ballroom The annual Junior-Senior Luncheon will be held May 1, at 2 p.m., in the Crystal Ballroom of the Edgewater Beach Hotel, where the juniors will present an original drama in three acts.

Jewel Crosby of the Mathematics department and Peggy Egan of the Physics department will complete the student panel. gram to watch, but do we have to work and still watch the variety casualties included? a play or concert for mother? or and so little brother wins and once again Hoppy gallops on Not only must we argue over what program to watch, but we have to suffer through the commercials involved with each. Animated bottles and cans do dances and sing songs; automobiles drive into our living room to sell them selves; candy bars talk, and refriger ator doors open magically to reveal all the space within. This marvel really has me fascina ted. I'm constantly torn between it and my books. No matter where I go in the house, the sound follows me, and I can't concentrate on studying. I just know the result for me will be a split personality I Most of us are by now confirmed ad dicts : so the optometrists will have more business, and the T.V. manufac turers will be richer; but me where can I find a place of solitude to study? Anyway it's upon me and everyone. Of course I can always turn it off Paint and Fabric And Clever Ideas Renew Apartment Putting to practical use their knowl edge of interior decoration, students in the Home Economics department, under the direction of their president, Helen Meindl, began their Easter va cation with the redecoration of the apart ment on the fourth floor. In two days, they painted the wood work white and the walls a raspberry rose to match the flowered drapes which now grace the windows. The students also selected the fa bric with which to upholster the fur niture, much of which they did them selves did. Home Economics majors who asis- tcd their president in this project were Seniors Mary Barrett, Rose Burke, Jane Feller, Anne Grogan, Betty Ja- cobsen, Nancy Keilty, Elizabeth Leech, Patricia McCabe, Mary Patricia Mol- loy, Marjorie Neff, Marilyn Rcsch, Bet ty Shoemaker, and Betty Tholl; Jun iors Betty Sittler and Betty Guilfoyle, and Freshman Joan Gamble. Other members of the committee on decoration were La Verne Seitz, Mary Jane Wozniak, and Elizabeth Heffer- man. Students and Faculty members will be given a chance to view the newly- decorated apartment at an open house May 2.
